Quick hike up from Auchavan, turned out a nice dayPDuncan8220/08/2022
Solo from Auchavan - up the track all the way to the summit and back down - very short hill (total time 1h 12min) but this was tacked onto an ascent of nearby(ish) Ben Tirran from Glen Clova, so a fruitful day, despite the lack of views (clag) on both corbetts.mproudfoot06/08/2022
